How many years has it been since you saw that movie?

Thirty or forty years. [Nabokov then recalled, again in precise detail, the opening scenes of County Hospital, 1932, in which Stan brings a gift of hardboiled eggs to relieve the misery of hospitalized Ollie and consumes them himself, salting them carefully.] More recently, on French TV I saw a Laurel and Hardy short in which the “dubbers” had the atrocious taste to have the two men speak fluent French with an English accent. But I don’t even remember if the best Laurel and Hardy are talkies or not. On the whole, I think what I love about the silent film is what comes through the mask of the talkies and, vice versa, talkies are mute in my memory.
